Perfect Square aims to meet the demand of modern households for an efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and emotionally resonant kitchen. It centers on two core principles— ‘Square’ and ‘Integration’: the former represents clear square functional zones constructed by minimalist geometric lines; the latter symbolizes organic multifunctional integration based on modular design, and also embodies family togetherness.
Breaking away from conventional stacking approaches, Perfect Square innovatively takes the island at its core, with functional zones scientifically arranged according to the ‘wash-cut-cook’ workflow. It organically integrates cooking, washing, and storage functions, while also serving as a dining table, significantly improving management and cooking efficiency for users. At the same time, the height-adjustable central axis provides an internal storage space, complemented by highly modular design, flexibly accommodating various scenes, storage needs and kitchen layouts. In this way, the product can transcend beyond traditional kitchen spaces, and extend its application to public and even outdoor spaces. Moreover, it comes with a cultivation module and a water circulation system, allowing users to grow fresh fruits and vegetables, contributing to an engaging, sustainable kitchen ecosystem.
As for appearance design, Perfect Square marries Eastern aesthetics with modern minimalism. Drawing inspiration from the Chinese character for ‘Integration’ and the brickwork of traditional Chinese buildings, it stacks square modules in order, and adopts blankness and emptiness-substance contrast from Chinese aesthetics, presenting a minimalist style with structured elegance and rhythmic dynamism. A gradient celadon palette, accented by black lines, brings to mind a Chinese ink-wash painting and creates a Zen-infused ambiance. In addition, the product introduces ‘Five Elements Theory’ (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth) in terms of material and element selection. For example, stainless-steel cabinets (Metal) paired with wooden doors (Wood) achieve a modern, harmonious aesthetic with improved visual layering.
